Definitely wanna wait at this point. There are rumors of a price drop right around the corner.
I've had mine for 2 months. I love it. The camera is neat but I bought it for its cool flying factor. It's powerful motors and its transforming legs. I am always amazed that I have a vehicle that I can fly almost completely out of sight and then look at my IPhone screen .... Turn it to the map screen, see my orientation and then follow back the trail that has been logged in the map screen.
Yes every flight the first 2 minutes are plaged with compass errors and loss of GPS. I Just use that time frame to Hoover and practice my manual flying skills to offset the temporary loss of full GPS stability.
I had to sell 3 very expensive pistols and a couple of very collectible knives to afforded this drone. Even with the acknowledged firmware issues I would still buy it again. I'm comfortable that the minor problems will be addressed ....... Reason being that everyone is having exactly the same problems.
I love this bird. Have a new canopy coming so I can screw up a paint job on it and still have the original canopy to fall back on if that's the case.
The really neat deal with this drone is the international support group that you and I are participating in and reaping the benefits of the knowledge of fellow Inspire 1 owners who are vastly more mechanically gifted and certainly more intelligent than this restaurant worker.
Buy one and enjoy it.
